Symposium 32 - Theme: Mind/games
Location: Jared's in Toronto
Dates: 2006-11-17 -- 2006-11-19
This was a fun Symposium! Hosted by Jared (and Jared's housemate Justin was there too), in a very central Toronto location - too central maybe, as we found during the crazy traffic event known as the Santa Claus parade on Sunday. We had an eclectic selection of movies, all on the theme of games and mindgames, and we even played some board games! Courtesy of Chris B and Martha, I'm now addicted to Ticket to Ride... It was great to see everyone, and as per usual, lots of movies, lots of chips, and lots of sarcasm :)
